Worker... or a queen?

On the caption of the first figure, it says it depicts a worker. Deciding from the shape (and colour) of the specimen's thorax and size of it's abdomen, I'm pretty sure it's a queen, though. --Mosher81 (talk) 06:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Agreed and changed.--FUNKAMATIC ~talk 22:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Inch

Carpenter ants are large (¼–1 in)

I know this is English wiki, but many people not from Britain use the larger English wiki, and I at least have no idea how large an inch would be. Could you add something like '2 cm'? Please? :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.171.7.38 (talk) 13:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Behavior Section

I edited the behavior section. The section on relatedness needs to be cited.Kaijones5245 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaijones5245 (talk • contribs) 19:02, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Undergraduate Peer Review (Washington University in St. Louis). The behavior section is highly informative, and I only made a few grammatical corrections., I would suggest adding citations for both the relatedness section and kin altruism section in order to elevate this article to “Good Article” status. Lastly, perhaps adding more information to the pheromones section would be helpful, such as a brief commentary on connections of genotype upon pheromones in the carpenter ant (how do genetic mutations affect pheromone levels and thereby influence social interactions between the workers, for instance). Adding additional examples in which these ants display kin altruism would be helpful as well. Overall, very strong work on this section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gschalet (talk • contribs) 01:50, 11 October 2013 (UTC)--Gschalet (talk) 02:06, 11 October 2013 (UTC)gschalet
